Seafoods best friend

Made from Akita Sake Komachi rice specifically designed for growing in Akita. This sake is the one you want on the table when dining on lobster, crab, sashimi or yakitori. It even goes well with smoked cheese! The aroma has some soft lactic notes that don’t overwhelm, and leads gently into a flavor akin to roasted chestnut with full umami and toasted barley. Round, silky and elegant.
